Our family of 5 stayed here for 2 weeks. Check in ran smoothly. We did exactly as Rebecca said and got our taxi driver to call Afang who spoke Thai almongst themselves. We met Afang. All good. We settled in nicely at the condo- had swims most days. Get the little shuttle bus from in front of Mix Cafe to Grand Central Rama 9 Mall & the MRT. To get around is very easy this way to all parts of Bangkok. There are also a few shops & cafes directly under the condo and a Villa Mart which stock foods from everywhere. Our kids all got tonsillitis and we found we had to eat home a bit. Plenty to choose from between here and Tops at central plaza. Also, my western boys when sick were asking for toast. I contacted Rebecca about borrowing one & maybe a skillet. Afang bought one to the house that night!! I had read some reviews of the kitchen being a little understocked. I can now say it has everything for all nationalities. Also Healthy Massage place downstairs - lovely (has special on 10-1pm 200thb for 1 hour) and a Nail Salon, pharmacy etc etc
That's about it- area is safe, the grounds are lovely- even if you're not a swimmer, spend some time on P level. It's a great green space.
thanks Rebecca & Afang. We all had a terrific time!
